The Political Relations Between Wallachia and the Hungarian Kingdom During the Reign of the Anjou Kings * Relaţii internaţionale The Political Relations between Wallachia and the Hungarian Kingdom during the Reign of the Anjou Kings * Marius Diaconescu I. lntroduction During the Middle Ages, the politica! relations were governed by certain specific requirements. The medieval state meant one and the same with the sovereign's person - emperor, king, prince, etc. The relations between the medieval states were the same as those between their rulers. The basic principie of the feudalism was that of the vassality which designed the relationship between the ruler and the vassal'. The relations of the Romanian states with the neighbouring · ones, especially with the great powers, follow the same feudal principles. The historiography bas often approached the relations between Wallachia and the Hungarian Kingdom, in studies particularly focused on this topic as well as 2 in syntheses. The works of classical authors as D. Onciul , N. Iorga3, and Gh. Brătianu\ to refer only to the best known researchers of the problem, have been enriched, within the Romanian historiography, by other writings, more or less 5 relevant • Some of the contributions strictly tackling the subject are especially remarkable as compared to the rich literature published during the last 50 years. Maria Holban's studies, collected in a volume significantly entitled On the History of the Romanian-Hungarian Relationships6 compelled recognition in the Romanian literature, despite many discrepancies and far-fetched interpretations lacking • The hereby research is part of a series tackling the relationships existing between Wallachia and Hungary until 1526. 1 M.

Iosipescu takes the question into consideration from another perspective, adding valuable nuances, in a conective volume about the 7 process of constitution of the Romanian states . Ş. Papacostea has paid during the latest decades a special attention to the birth of the Romanian states, going over various topics connected with the ones concerning the relations with the Hungarian kingdom. The latest serious researches on this subject in the Romanian historiography have meant to prove the importance of the international commercial routes, which crossed the territories of the Romanian states for their establishment as states8 or approached the reinterpretation of some new sources published by 9 1 Hungarian historians • A valuable synthesis referring to the l 3 h century Romanians properly places the evolutions of the Romanian space within the international 10 frame and offers a survey over the Romanians' history of that age • This contribution is especially precious for the understanding of the evolution of the Hungarian suzerainty over the Southern-Carpathian territories during the 13th century. The Hungarian historiography, beside those general studies approaching the Anjou dynasty, in which the connections with Wallachia were also included, like A Huber's 11 and B. Homan's 12 works, records particular attempts to research the topic. J. Pataki's 13 endeavour to bring together the contributions of Romanian and Hungarian historians has tried to present a general picture of the relations established between the kings of Hungary and the voivodes of the Romanian states during the 14th century. The latest contribution is L. B. Kumorovitz's 14 work, which reveals original documentary information and makes the correction of a wrong dated conflict between the Romanian voivode and King Louis. The diversity of the historiographic approaches of the topic made us reassess the relations between the rulers of W allachia and the kings of Hungary from a neutral perspective. The most part of the Romanian historiography has focused on the conflicts between the two sides. Often overstates the relevance or the position of a military victory within the context of the respective relationships in order to try and support the independence of Wallachia and minimised the 7 S. losipescu, Românii din Carpaţiii Meridionali la Dunărea de Jos de la invazia mongolă (1241- 1243) pînă la consolidarea domniei a toată Ţara Românească.

On the other hand, the Hungarian historiography rninirnised at its turn the independence acts of Wallachia, as well as the cases when the Hungarian arrnies were defeated. Our study is trying to rediscuss the topic and balance the two trends, and also to point at some common places of the historical writing. Without clairning to achieve an exhaustive approach of the topic, we try to sum up the politica! relations between W allachia and Hungary during the Anjou epoch. 2. The Origins and the Beginnings of the Hungarian Suzerainty Hungary's foreign policy during the period of the founding dynasty, the Arpadian, was usually aggressive, permanently offensively oriented. with annexationist purposes. The 13th century also meant the beginning of the Saint Stephen's kingdom expansion towards the regions of the Danube springs, south of 15 the Carpathians • This expansion should be naturally understood as ruling in the sense of the vassalage relationships that characterised the Middle Ages. From a political point of view, the Cumans were the owners of the territory located between the Carpathians and the Danube. There is indisputable proof that, at one moment, the kings of Hungary were suzerains over a large part of this region. The privileges granted to the Teutonic knights 16 by King Andrew II after 1211, after the colonisation of the land of Bârsa (located in the Southeast of Transylvania, witbin the Carpathian curvature) show that the Cumans inhabited the territory south of the mountains. They were considered as enernies of the kingdom 17 at that moment • The document does not allow us to determine whether the Cumans ruled the entire territory lying between the Danube and the Carpathians. In the meantime, the Teutonic knights who settled in the land of Bârsa seem to have been an outpost facing the Cuman territories. Later documents, issued after granting the mentioned privileges, indicate that the knights also possessed lands relatively located south of the mountains (stretching from river Bârsa's springs, in 18 the mountains, to the Danube) • The Teutons did not hesitate tobe the first who occupied it after settling in the land of Bârsa. They soon built a city, placed there by means of a papal document, "beyond the snolry mountains" (ultra mons 19 nivium) • The Hungarian king reconsidered, at a certain moment, the legacy 15 Ş. Papacostea, fncepuiurile politicii comerciale, p. 10, claims that the motive of the tenitorial expansion of the Hungarian kingdom towards the Danube springs was economically defined, aiming at obtaining the access to the Eastem commerce. 16 The bibliography: H.

  • The Romance Population in the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary
    ANALELE BANATULUI, S.N., ARHEOLOGIE ISTORIE, XXII, 2014 http://muzeulbanatului.ro/mbt/istorie/publicatii/ab.htm THE ROMANCE POPULATION IN THE MEDIEVAL KINGDOM OF HUNGARY Peter Bučko* Keywords: Romance population; medieval Hungary; Srem; Spiš; Transylvania, Tokaj; pilgrims; Hospitallers; Templars Cuvinte cheie: populaţie romanică; Ungaria medievală; Srem; Spiš; Transilvania; Tokaj; pelerini; Ospitalieri; Templieri (Abstract) Medieval kingdom of Hungary was since its very begining founded on the basis of multiethnicity and openness to foreigners. Foreigners in Hungary, especially in the 11th and 12th century came from Western Europe. Great immigration waves of the romance population are documented mostly during the reign of king Géza II (1141 – 1162), when they managed to settle in peripheral regions of the country and increase the population and signicance of weakly populated regions. Foreigners in the 12th recieved privileged status as the „guests“. In the 11th and 12th century these guests have settled in Srem, Spiš, Transylvania and Tokaj. Some information about Srem region are provided by crusades chronicles. In Srem there was a village called Francavilla, which belonged to the oldest and most important romanesque settlement in Hungary. e Guests in Transylvania had their own church organization and there were several bishops of Transylvania and Bihar/Oradea of western european origin. Other regions with Romanesque population – Spiš and Tokaj laid on international routes. e collegiate chapter of Spiš even owned vineyards in Tokaj – in Sárospátak, one of the oldest Hungarian cities with privileges. A large number of documented pilgrimage passing through Hungary could also stand behind the increase of new romance population in the country. Additional aspect of the Crusades was the creation of religious orders, the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers, who just few decades after their formation appeared in Hungary and were engaged in the life of Hungarian kingdom.

Grigore Leibniz Institute of European History, Mainz THE SPACE OF POWER STATE CONSOLIDATION BY MEANS OF RELIGIOUS POLICY IN THE DANUBE PRINCIPALITIES IN THE FOURTEENTH TO SIXTEENTH CENTURIES Abstract This article shows the close link between religious policy, especially that of the confessional option, and the politicization of space in the building processes of territorial states. The study focuses on the two Danube Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, which implemented their state building owing to three decisive steps: i) the jurisdictional option in favour of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople; ii) the territorial and social implementation of the Byzantine- Orthodox faith by institutional infrastructure and monastic reform; iii) the Ortho- dox enculturation of the two Wallachian principalities. The main goal of this chapter is to show how cultural and historical phenomena transform the abstract geo- graphical space into the political space of a state. Keywords: Wallachia, Moldavia, state building, religious policy, confessions, spatial turn, pre-modern and early modern period, South-Eastern Europe I INTRODUCTION During the period between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries the geopolitical situation of the region between the Carpathians and Lower Danube was most complex. Because of its wealth and proximity to the Black Sea, its dynamic commercial centres, and the prosperous Bulgarian and Serbian territories, this area was highly disputed between different powers of both the Latin and Orthodox faiths, not to speak of the Tatars and – after the fourteenth century – the Ottomans. Multiple powers tried to strengthen their ties and interests in the region: the Hungarian and Polish Crowns, the Bulgarian Empire under the Asen dynasty, the Cumans, the fi rst Wallachian voivodes http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/APH.2017.116.02 36 Mihai-D.

  • Between Old and New Rome
    Jonas Thungren Lindbärg “A burdensome matter it is today to abandon the delicate and subtle customs of the Latin people, i.e. the Franks, and to return to the Between Old and New Rome dullness of the old Armenians.” Thus wrote the Armenian archbishop Nerses, not without a hint of Armenian and Bulgarian Contacts with the Papacy around 1204 sarcasm, when defending his endeavour to unite the Armenian Church with the Roman in the late twelfth century. What this old dullness was is less clear but it seems that Latin customs had indeed become both Jonas Thungren Lindbärg desirable and powerful, for this ecumenical endeavour met with success and only a handful of years later something similar occured in the Between Old and New Rome Old and New Between Balkans, when a newly founded Bulgarian empire submitted to the Roman Church as well. The rulers of these realms would not only profess their loyalty to the Roman Church but would also carry papal banners into battle and exchange letters with the pope. This study examines how these rulers used their relationships with the Papacy, as well as how the pope used his relationship with them. It is a study of ideas and of symbolic power, of how kingdoms and empires were imagined and expressed. It is a study of the new and the old, of two new power-centres emerging from the old peripheries of the crumbling Byzantine Empire, of leaders weaving together real and imagined histories with new influences in order to establish and profess their legitimate rule.

  • Zoltán Iusztin Abstract. There Is Another Historical Sourc
    THE MAGYAR TOPONYMY IN THE COUNTY OF CARAŞ (THE 13TH–15TH CENTURIES) Zoltán Iusztin Abstract. There is another historical source besides the archaeological testimonies that brings direct data or keeps certain features of the human societies of the old times. We speak about toponymy that needs a critical analysis as any source needs in order to be a credible one. Such reasons are called by the oral perpetuation of the sites names, a process able to distort their original form. Etymology is difficult o be established, the written sources certifying real stages of toponyms metamorphosing. On the other part there are certain processes that lead to some toponyms loss or to their initial location changing. The reasons consist in the simple fact of some settlements disappearance in time while others may change their geographic situation. The different human groups’ mobility is another element to change the toponyms identity, together with their re-naming according to the groups’ own culture. To separate all these processes and toponyms establishing we need to refer to documents. Written information is necessary to discover through toponyms certain features of the communities that used or created them. THE ROLE OF TEUTONIC ORDER IN THE HISTORY OF THE BANATE OF SEVERIN Viorel Achim Abstract. The paper deals with the presence of the Teutonic Order in the southeastern parts of the nowadays Banat in the years 1429-1435. Bringing in Teutonic Knights was part of the project developed by King Sigismund of Luxembourg after the defeat at Golubac (June 1428), of strengthening the Danube line, now border of the Hungarian Kingdom with the Ottoman Empire.

  • THE INSTITUTION of BANAT in the BANAT of LUGOJ and CARANSEBES in the Xvith-Xviith CENTURIES
    THE INSTITUTION OF BANAT IN THE BANAT OF LUGOJ AND CARANSEBES IN THE XVIth-XVIIth CENTURIES Sorin BULBOACĂ Ph. D. “Vasile Goldiş” Western University of Arad Faculty of Humanities, Politics and Administrative Sciences, Arad Phone: 0727-455952 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. In this article, we try to investigate and explain the connection between the Banat og Lugoj-Caransebes and the central institution in Transylvania, during the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. In the Principality of Transylvania, the banat of Lugoj and Caransebes was a member of the council of the prince, as second to the grand captain of Oradea. The most important prerogatives of the bans of Lugoj and Cransebes are the military ones, as they also had other important military posistions in the Principality. They had diplomatic atributions as messengers and negotiators in the relations with the Ottoman Empire or in the relations with Walachia and Moldavia. They were the presidents of the nobility’s assenblies from the Banat of Lugoj and Cransebes or of two districts. The documents mention the „chair of judgement” of the ban, which had competency regarding property, succession, confiscation or distraint of estates for political reasons, in case of betrayal. They have also participated to the religious affairs, encouraging Calvinsm and the translation of some religious books into Romanian. Keywords: Banat, prerogatives, military, diplomatic attributions, religious affairs The history of banate of Lugoj and Caransebes in the XVIth-XVIIth centuries represents an integrant part of the medieval history of Transylvania, of the history of Romanians in general. The second half of the XIXth century brought the publication of the first documents referring to Banat, by the Hungarian historian Szilagy Sandor, in some series dedicated to the debates of general commissions of Transylvania (Monumenta Comitialia Regni Transsylvania 1875-1898).
